The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Lamb Dry Dog Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your dog’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps increase the appetite and food intake.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

My dog DOES NOT like this
By Mansfield on Oct 26, 2021
my dog is older - between `5-17 years old. Earlier this year she was diagnosed with liver and kidney disease that had gotten significantly worse by August- she is now put been put on medicine that she won't take and this food which she won't eat. She did not eat for 4 days when it was just this food (I had been mixing it with her old food) so now I have to grind this food up to a powder and mix it with some garbage wet food just to get her to eat.. and she will only eat maybe 1/8-1/4 of what she is supposed to be eating a day so she is losing weight- I wanted a different brand but our vet said she would not give up a prescription for it.. just this or the other even more expensive one- which my dog is older - between `5-17 years old.

I do not like the switch
By Sharron on Nov 12, 2021
Recently Aspen's vet changed her food due to elevation in a particular kidney enzyme. Quality of dry food seems good but she doesn't like it. Chewy personnel has made good suggestions so we will try to add another k/d product to it.

Great Dog Food
By HappyDog on Sep 4, 2021
My poor dog was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and this dog food was one of the recommendations from my vet. I've been following the instructions to slowly transition her to feed her only this food. She gobbles it up so I know she is enjoying the taste having been on hydrolyzed vegetarian food for several years because of her pancreatitis. I'm anxiously awaiting the canned soft food to mix in with the dry kibble, but it's currently not in stock.

She loves it
By Lizzie on Nov 18, 2021
My Lab is starting kidney issues. Changed to the K/d dry and canned. She does not vomit her food up with the new diet.

Science Hill KD food
By Merlinsmama on Aug 22, 2021
I was so surprised that Merlin loved this food and so was his vet, Merlin can be quite picky about his food, he’s NEVER eaten all of his breakfast or dinner in one sitting, now with this food he is so eager and eats all of it right away. Thanking Science Hill for making a problem situation a much easier task for me and my baby!

K/D dog food
By 10catgirl on Sep 28, 2021

My dogs LOVE this!
By YorkieMom on Jul 29, 2021
I have two senior dogs (13yrs old) and one has stage 2 kidney disease. It’s very hard to get him to eat the prescription food, but he loves the Science Diet k/d with Lamb. He prefers the canned version, but it’s been out of stock for months!! Both of my Yorkies do very well on this diet. I have them both on this because the Vet said it’s not a bad idea to have senior dogs on this k/d food.

A Picky Eater Likes This Food
By Wiki on Jul 11, 2021
My 10 pound, 12.5 yr old Shih Tzu, has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. His numbers are just above normal so hoping this KD diet will help. He is a picky eater but he likes the canned food, Chicken and Chicken Veggie Stew and now the Lamb flavored dry food. The dry food has an appetite stimulant in it and I do believe he is eating better on most days. The other 2 Shih Tzus, 13 and 11.5, like the canned and dry food too. My Vet has me give a liquid Omega 3 fish oil supplement, based on pet weight, daily, along with fresh veggies.

Ms Jackie Likes It!
By DogMomma on Oct 26, 2021
Ms. Jackie was not a fan of the first kidney diet we tried, but she seems to like the taste of this food.
